Not at the moment, but this is planned for the next release after 2.0.

This release will be a 2.2 or maybe a 3.0, I don't know yet.

I want to merge the database manager and the IDE, and to make the IDE managing 
different form types: report forms, web forms, for example. And consequently, 
I will need to manage properties like you did.

At the moment, I suggest you do like me in the gb.db.form component: always 
use the current connection, by using the DB static class.

Note that I have never used Delphi, I don't know it at all, so maybe you will 
have many ideas for Gambas that I don't imagine :-)
